There are 1,854 Municipal clerks and 72 County clerks in the State of Wisconsin.

The Wisconsin Elections Commission considers each of these clerks to be a partner in the process of carrying out open, fair and transparent elections. This page is a resource for clerks and other local election officials.

In a continuing effort to inform and prepare local election officials, clerks, and SRD's we offer training yearly throughout the State of Wisconsin. Information about training dates, manuals, and requirements for training can be found on this page.

The State of Wisconsin's WisVote system (formerly the Statewide Voter Registration System or SVRS) is used by municipalities and counties to maintain the data of all voters in Wisconsin and manage elections.
